GENERAL
These are special commands to request specific services from MDPP or the
CLI for the machine you are using.
Control Characters:
<Cntl-B> ...... Pop up the Broadcast window.
<Cntl-C> ...... Terminate ongoing process (after all input is complete)
<Cntl-E> ...... Expand the image at the cursor
<Cntl-G> ...... Toggel the use of the graphics mouse
<Cntl-P> ...... Pause for 4 seconds
<Cntl-V> ...... View the work window
<Cntl-W> ...... Re-paint the screen
<Cntl-X> ...... Break-out Spawn
<Cntl-Y> ...... Force job termination (neatly!)
<Cntl-Z> ...... Abandon command (at a request for parameter input)
Note:: These command work with the screen management options of MDP.
Only <Cntl-C> and <Cntl-Z> work in line-mode: in line mode <Cntl-Y>
causes MDP to abort rather than to shut down neatly.
Control Commands:
? ...... Gets HELP for that command segment (if available)
?? ...... Gets HELP for that command.
HELP ...... Requests HELP on a command
MENU ...... Prints this file
PROC ...... invokes the procedure driver (same as 'XP')
XXXX ...... "XXXX" is any command, three letters or more, entered at
the terminal (e.g. DIR <string>, PUR <string>, DEL <string>
etc). All such lines are SPAWNED to the CLI for processing.
UTILITIES
These are standalone programs which are run to perform useful operations
for the enlighted user. HELP is available for all of them.

TAPEDIT ...... Copies tape-to-tape on two drives selecting files to copy
TAPEREAD ...... Reads an IBM tape to disc
